Javan mongoose a.k.a Small Indian Mongoose
(
Herpestes javanicus)
Please forgive the white sides on the picture. It was the only decent one I could find. :/
The Javan mongoose is native to India and southeast Asia, and were introduced in the New World as a means of controlling rats and snakes on sugarcane plantations. However, the population of the mongoose quickly got out of control and they became serious pests, and have been the cause the extinction of at least 12 native species.
They are very playful and will practice mutal grooming.
